Ten people were hurt including a child with serious injuries in a roll-over crash about the time fireworks were going off around Denver Friday night.

Four passengers were thrown from a Suburban during the crash. Detectives suspect the driver was intoxicated and driving too fast.

“Amazingly no one died in this crash,” said Jeff Turner, spokesman for the Aurora Police Department.

The names of 10 injured people have not been released. The crash happened at 9:38 p.m., right around the time when the skies around Denver were lit up with fireworks displays.

A Suburban was headed north on Interstate 225 in the left lane when the driver swerved the vehicle onto the Iliff Avenue exit, Turner said in a news release. The Suburban collided with a road barrier separating through lanes in a construction zone.

The Suburban rolled, ejecting four passengers.

The male driver was trapped and had to be extricated by emergency workers with special equipment. The remaining six passengers were able to climb out of the vehicle on their own.

Eleven people, including four adults and seven children, had crammed into the vehicle that has eight seat belts, Turner said.

Yet, most of the seat belts weren’t even being used, according to Turner. Detectives believe that only the driver and a passenger in the front seat were buckled up, according to a news release.

Detectives from the Aurora Police Traffic Section are investigating the crash. They are still trying to identify everyone who was in the vehicle. Authorities believe one person left the scene with friends.
